Hi any new starters on clomid
I just started my first round of clomid 50mg (3-7) had my scan on day 12 , two mature follicles on right and small one on left.
Had no side effects from taking clomid,but ovulation was so painful that I could hardly walk.

Would love to hear from other people there experience on clomid ..

Been trying for 3 years,miscarriage last year at 4 months, I do ovulate but not enough to substation a pregnancy,hence the clomid .hubby is fine with his sperm.. Am levels are low as well

That sounds painful!

I have read that headaches and sweating is a symptom. Hopefully it's a sign that it's working for you.

Vixx I'm not sure about symptoms at all Sad BUT I have been suffering from a trapped nerve for the past week, which has been caused by the muscles in my shoulder being in spasm, and has sent shooting pains up and down my arm and led to two of my finger tips being numb, so I have been a bit preoccupied with that TBH! I have had splitting headaches the last two mornings upon waking up, have also been waking up in the night sweating buckets and in so much pain (with the shoulder), and have been in an irritable mood since Wednesday, but ALL of these I have put down to my shoulder, so I don't know how much, if anything is clomid related! Hmm Time will tell!

Eskimo I'm on cycle day 10 so we are literally neck and neck.

The first month I got my scans for free on nhs but this month and any subsequent months it's 275 a cycle.

Have you had any symptoms during the last few days?

birchygoo · 03/08/2015 20:11

oh and af is due tomorrow according to ff but I did use opks this month.

my TTC story is :

came off the pill last June. did not track anything until Jan. bloods all OK and dh sa OK. cycles have been ranging from 28-39 days. also picked up chlamydia antibodies. referred to hospital. given 3 months of clomid to try and regulate cycles. if no bfp will have laparoscopy.

I have been told I will need a scan cycle day 12-14 to look at follicles - not private but on NHS. however on talking with others what I have realised there is a postcode diff in treatment. others had hycosy (sp?) b4 clomid. I haven't even been offered that - its laparoscopy I'm having and am taking clomid for 3 months before I have this!

Oh, Vixx crossed posts! You sound like you're at the same stage as me. Let's hope it works this time.

Those of you getting scanned- are you paying for the scans or are they on the NHS? I wasn't offered the scans, but I was referred to the hospital by my GP, so assumed that you had to pay to be scanned.

Also, Moomin- is your bleed natural? If so, is it your first period since coming off the pill? I will be so excited when I finally have a natural period! (Even more so if I don't have one and get pregnant Grin )

Hi everyone, I'm currently on CD9 of my second clomid cycle. I took 50 mg first time round, but unfortunately it didn't work, so they've bumped up my dose this time to 100mg and I have CD21 bloods booked in for Friday 14th August, which will be CD20 for me.

Moomin we have met before on the 'no periods' thread- it's good to see that you're making some progress and that your lap and dye was good. Smile

I still haven't had a natural AF since coming off the pill in November, as I haven't ovulated at all, but have had withdrawal bleeds from Norethisterone, which is how I took the clomid both times (days 2-6). I've had other tests such as an ultrasound, HSG to check my tubes etc. and they've been fine and DH's SA was normal, so it's just a matter of making me ovulate, which hasn't happened yet. I think my ovaries are just in 'sleep' mode. Hmm

Jackster The mature follicles sound promising. I wasn't offered the chance of a scan, so can't keep track of progress, but really hoping the clomid is working this time round!

FX for all of us!

VixxFace · 03/08/2015 19:20

Hi jackster,

Your scan results sounds very promising. Fingers crossed for you.

I took 50 mg last month and it did absolutely nothing! Started on 100 mg last week and will be getting rescanned Wednesday.

Clomid made me emotional, I cried all week Grin

Moomin37 · 03/08/2015 19:08

Hi Jackster I am on 50mg for five days. I been having what I think is a very light AF since Saturday, so I'm starting today and having a day 21 blood test later in the month. It's great to feel like we're finally making progress - we have the Conceive Plus at the ready!! I was told to take it at night - here's hoping for a Clomid baby for us.

Hi Birchygoo what's your TTC story?

birchygoo · 03/08/2015 17:34

Hi all I'm due to take my 1st one with start of next cycle. af due tomorrow!

Hi moomin
It's all very exciting....I took my clomid at night so I didn't have side effect throughout the day,but was fine... What amount are you on and what days are you taking yours,also are you being monitered by a doctor..

Finger crossed for the both of us ????

Hello :) I am taking my first Clomid tablet tonight and I'm rather excited! Been TTC #1 for 14 months since coming off the pill. AF never returned and I've recently had a lap and dye which was all good. It would be great to share the journey with you :)

Very sorry to hear about your MC Flowers and I have my fingers crossed that you get good news soon.
